T2 and mud
Have to say was delighted with my T2 today after arriving at Smallfields race way only to find it a mud bath into the pits, 4 wheel car trailer with Nissan Bluebird ready to race loaded with spares and tools, so good and heavy, two wheel drive till got to some deep holes (8 to 10 inches) 13 inch trailer wheels, so for safety sake engaged 4 wheel, slid sideways a bit but continued without problems even when trailer wheels went right down and had to climb out of holes again, brilliant just what I bought it for, many I have to say had to be towed with the resident 4 wheel vehicles, well pleased, Rick

Bought mine for those unknown situations, there are many times I would have been stuck in any other car.
Also for towing my 2 tonne boat and trailer.

Contact Briggies insurance, they will probably fix that.
After all, a bit of "T Cut" a bit of TLC.... Good as new.
